Operational efficiency
Streamlining routine workflows so people can spend more time on work that actually requires their judgment. Less time hunting for information, more time acting on it.
Independent software
Practical, polished tools for modern teams.
Aequum Labs crafts focused applications that already feel production‑ready. We design tools that organizations can adopt or white‑label to enrich day‑to‑day operations across common departments.
About Aequum Labs
Software with a practical center of gravity.
Aequum Labs is an independent software company focused on building small, production‑ready applications. Instead of sprawling software suites, we create focused tools that organizations can adopt or white‑label to support the everyday work that keeps their operations moving.
Early on, our attention is on patterns that show up across many organizations: the shared needs of operations, finance, HR, and other common departments. We aim for products that are simple to understand, quick to deploy, and calm to live with long term.
What we’re building
A small portfolio of applications for everyday operations.
Over the next chapters, Aequum Labs will prototype and refine a range of applications designed to enrich the day‑to‑day work of teams in operations and adjacent functions. The through‑line: software that removes friction instead of adding another system to babysit.
Decision intelligence
Making the state of operations easier to see and reason about. Clear, opinionated views that help teams decide what matters today without drowning in dashboards.
Automation
Automating repetitive tasks while keeping humans in control. Thoughtful defaults, explicit hand‑offs, and tools that are there when you need them and quiet when you don’t.
How we build
Friendly, pragmatic, ambitious — without the buzzword soup.
Polished from day one
Even early versions should feel coherent, stable, and trustworthy. “Minimum viable” doesn’t have to mean rough edges everywhere.
Focused products with a point of view
We favor small, opinionated products over sprawling platforms. If a feature doesn’t clearly support the core workflow, it waits.
White‑label friendly
Products are designed to be brand‑light and adaptable, so they can quietly fit into the environments where they’re used.
Calm, modern design
Clean, contemporary interfaces without throwback design tropes. No flashing banners, no clutter — just tools that respect people’s focus.
Why “Aequum”?
A nod to balance, fairness, and level ground.
Aequum draws from Latin roots — related to aequus — often associated with what is level, balanced, or fair. It suggests a kind of evenness: not tilted in favor of one side, not overloaded, not chaotic.
That idea resonates with what we want our products to do. The goal isn’t to chase every trend, but to create software that helps everyday work feel more balanced: clearer workloads, fewer surprises, and tools that quietly support the people using them.
Where we’re headed
Early days, deliberately paced — and building toward a useful portfolio.
Now
Researching patterns in everyday operations and exploring where small, focused tools can make work meaningfully easier.
Next
Prototyping and refining early applications, with an emphasis on polish and clarity rather than raw feature counts.
Later
Offering a portfolio of ready‑to‑use and white‑label applications that organizations can drop into their existing workflows.
For now, Aequum Labs is quietly building. This page will evolve as our products do.
Current projects
A glimpse at what's currently on the workbench.
Open Source Projects
Svelo
Svelo is an open‑source cryptography educational tool that demystifies encoding and decoding. Built as a lightweight command‑line interface, it automatically tries common ciphers and encodings on any input string, helping users learn about Base64, hex, ROT13, and dozens of other encoding schemes through hands‑on experimentation.
PIDpal
PIDpal is an open‑source process explainer that bridges the gap between raw system data and human understanding. By providing plain‑English explanations of running processes on Linux, macOS, and Windows, it helps anyone—from curious users to system administrators—learn what's happening on their computer without parsing cryptic technical output.
Commercial Projects
Project AQ-ProjectManager
Project AQ-ProjectManager is an internal goals‑and‑execution workspace that keeps goals, projects, and tasks in one place. It combines a board‑style view of work with structured Markdown summaries, making it easier to review progress or feed updates into large language models.
Project AQ-PortfolioManager
Project AQ-PortfolioManager is a flexible content management system for cataloging and presenting works of art online. It combines AI‑powered metadata generation with thoughtful workflow tools for review, approval, and multi‑platform distribution, making it easier for artists and institutions to organize collections and share them with audiences across different channels.
Project AQ-InteractiveResume
Project AQ-InteractiveResume helps professionals audit and organize their career history into an interactive web experience. Instead of static résumés, it lets site visitors filter achievements and projects by role type or custom criteria, surfacing the most relevant experience for the position they're hiring for—turning decades of work into a browsable, context‑aware story.
